The Russian House in Damascus continues series of traveling exhibitions about the Russian cultural heritage

The exhibition "Faces of the Russian Icon: Copies of Masterpieces from the Andrei Rublev Museum Collection" and the exhibition "Islam in Russia," featuring the works of photographer Ildar Yambikov, were held in Damascus.

Ali Al-Ahmad, an adviser to the Russian House in Damascus and the head of the Syrian Association of Graduates from Russian Universities, noted that the combination of Christian and Islamic art at the exhibition demonstrates the cultural diversity of Russia and its connection with Syria, where Christian and Islamic heritage also exist in harmony.

Ekaterina Braginskaya, an employee of the Russian House, guided visitors through the collection of icon copies. Ali Al-Ahmad showed the guests Islamic monuments from Russia.
